ProcMon
#1
Exclamation 
Gday Brian

Every now and then I will lose in my Control Panel 'Sound' my sound card. It will say something to the effect of no devices found. I reboot and it all comes back.

I downloaded Process Monitor to see why this is happening, when I get no audio devices found I try and right click on Computer to open Device Manager, or even Admin Tools, nothing happens.

I suspect it is the rundll32 having a hissy fit. Can you please do a video on how to setup ProcMon so I can see what is happening?

Cheers

Susan

Yes I have watched all the videos, I did it prior to downloading ProcMon. I am generally not a PC dummy, I am however self taught, which means I am no expert, and this ProcMon has me confused, as to how to set it up to specifically target the rundll32.

A good place to start is to do the basic's run sfc /scannow or have you tried this?
This does fix a lot of issues with rundll32

Just a curious question on the Operating System. Is this something you paid for? There is a reason for my asking this.
